New Music... Alexi Murdoch- Song For You

So today I wrote a song for you

Beause a day can get so long

& I know it’s hard to make it through

When you say there is something wrong

So I’m trying to put it right

Because I want to love you with my heart

All this trying has made me tight

And I don’t know even where to start

Maybe that’s a start

Because you know it’s a simple game

That you play filling up your head with rain

& you know you are hiding from your pain

In the way,

 In the way you say your name

& I see you

Hiding your face in your hands

Flying so you won’t land

You think no one understands

No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders

& you shake your head

& your throat is aching but you swear

No one hurts you, nothing could be sad

Anyway you’re not here enough to care

& you’re so tired you don’t sleep at night

As your heart is trying to mend

You keep it quiet but you think you might

Disappear before the end

& it’s strange that you cannot find

Any strength to even try

To find a voice to speak your mind

When you do,

 All you wanna do is cry

Well maybe you should cry

& I see you hiding your face in your hands

Talking about far away lands

You think no one understands

Listen to my hands

& all of this life

Moves around you

For all that you claim

You’re standing still

You are moving too

You are moving too

You are moving too

I will move you
